Here's the next chapter! I would like thank those who have read this story and for the follow and review. You guys rock! And I cannot wait for tonight's new episode!
Anyways, I do not own anything you reconize, if I did, how awesome would that be?
So, read and what not...
Previously...
Cooper was soon enough looking down at the results. They weren't good.
"Uh oh, that doesn't look good." Charlie said, noting his father's face. From a few feet away, Charlie saw a boy called Dash pretending to be dead, Charlie laughed every time he scared the nurses.
Cooper was soon standing in front of Leo and his mother, both looked grim and upset.
"What do you mean Leo has cancer?" Leo's mother asked. Leo was staring off into somewhere, not sure what to think.
"He has a type of bone cancer known as Osteosarcoma in his right knee." Cooper replied sadly. Leo's mother had her hand on Leo's shoulder in an attempt to comfort them both, but it didn't seem to be working.
And with that, Leo Roth had become a patient of St. Ambrose.
"Hey Charlie." Mason said. He was sitting next to Charlie's bed, talking to his twin brother. He was more comfortable now in talking to Charlie then when he first did. Maybe it was because he was getting used to what was happening.
"Hey Mase, anything new?" Charlie had been about 3 weeks sense Leo Roth had entered the hospital, and Charlie for some reason was "around" him a lot.
"The guy was currently in chemotherapy, he was miserable, until he became friends with Dash Hosney, the guy with Cystic Fibrosis and enjoyed making the nurses flip out in his free time when he wasn't being hounded by Nurse Jackson or the hospital teacher."
Charlie found Dash entertaining, he knew how to have fun while being stuck in the hospital. Leo must have agreed on that as well, seeing as he and Dash started hanging out together a lot more.
"Dad and Mama are fighting a lot." Mason said, he looked sad by that. Charlie was as well, but he also was curious on why.
"Why're they fighting?" He then asked.
"They want you to wake up." Mason said, smiling a little. "We all do because we miss you. Do you want to wake up?"
"More then anything."
"Mama wants to do something, and Dad flipped out when she said it." Mason said, he seemed troubled. "I'm not sure what though. Maybe another surgery?"
Charlie only listened. What did Mama say? And why was Dad so mad about it?
"I hope you wake you, Charlie." Mason said. "The Cooplet's miss 'Chawee'." He laughed at that. "Caroline was the one who said your name. It's kinda funny, we both named her, and she said your name as her first word."
"She's going to be just like us when she get's older." Charlie said, laughing. "Dad better hide the nerf guns then."
"Mama and Dad'll have fun when she gets older." Mason said smiling.
"I can't wait for it to happen." Charlie said. He would be awake by then. He wouldn't take anything else. He would be awake before he missed out on too much.
It was late out. The night time nurses were around and about, getting ready for a long night. Charlie was seen in his hospital bed where he hadn't moved from in what felt like centuries. Outside of his room was Charlotte and Cooper.
"He'll wake up, Charlotte!" Cooper exclaimed. He did not want to be having this conversation by the looks of it.
"But what if he doesn't, Cooper?" Charlotte said back. "We need to to at lease look at other options-
"The one you're talking about is taking him of life support!" Cooper interupted, he kept his voice low, surprisingly, but also angerly. Maybe it was because he was afraid of Nurse Jackson like others were. "I'm not going to do that, Charlotte. Charlie's a strong but stubborn kid. He'll wake up." He looked at Charlie.
"I don't doubt that, Cooper." Charlotte said, placing her hand on Cooper's shoulder. "And I don't want to talk about this, but there's a chance we might have to one day."
"One day." Cooper said, looking from Charlie to Charlotte then back to Charlie. "Not next week. Not next month. And certainly, not today."
"Not today." Charlotte repeated. "That boy is stubborn. I know he agree's. He's not leaving today."
"Not today, but hey, maybe I'll leave tomorrow to go see a movie." Charlie joked, in attempt to lighten the mood, but even that didn't set right. He was definatly not ready to go yet, but he sure as hell isn't ready to wake up yet, despite the fact he desperatly wanted to. "I'll wake up, Mama, Dad. I have way too much to do before I kick the can. I need to at least learn how to drive a car. Get a girlfriend. Oh, and eat pizza. That sounds so freakin' awesome right now."
"One day at a time though. Things would just have to go one day at a time, even if it were to end up slow and boring beyond belief. I'll wake up. One day."
So, what do you think? I know from last weeks promo for tonight's episode that it's not a diving accident that sends Charlie into the hospital, but in my story it is. Okay, so please read, review, like and/or follow. That would be so fantastic. So long and thanks for all the fish. (I can't get the song out of my head. It's hilarious, so I typed it for some unknown reason.). Anyways, see you until the next chapter.
